Hopefully this is the place to ask about the best home protection hand guns. If not,

11. Get an auto with a light attached

Chances are in a stressful situation you won't even see the laser.
You won't care about the laser you'll want to identify your target.

Many self defense shooting situations in the home will happen in lowlight.
Since you're asking what type of handgun to buy. I take it you have no training in shooting.
I'm assuming this is your first gun purchase ? (please correct me if I'm wrong)


I showed you some links with some 9mm autos and a light.
I tend to use either 9mm or 45ACP for most of my carry guns , both calibers are fine.
If I was you I would go fire a few handguns then decide which caliber you prefer.

Another option which I think is the best is purchase a Remington 870 12 gauge for home defense.
Get a box of 00 buck and call it a day.
Just remember to have a good light.
